BootGlide™: Patented Easy-On Boot Technology

BootGlide™ is Laetts’ patented innovation designed to make boots slide on and off with less friction, less fatigue, and more freedom. Whether you’re suiting up for a ski day, snowmobiling, or managing post-injury stiffness, BootGlide™ transforms the beginning and end of every winter adventure.

How it Work

BootGlide™ uses a precision-engineered yarn system that reduces friction against the inner boot wall while maintaining warmth and support. It integrates:

  • Low-Friction Technical Yarns
    Specially selected yarns create a smooth interface between sock and boot liner.
  • Structured Flex Zones
    Strategically placed zones provide gentle compression and ease over instep and heel, where friction is usually highest.
  • Dual-Direction Glide Mechanism
    Engineered for both entry and exit, the yarn blend resists snagging and bunching even after hours of wear.

Why it Matters

BootGlide™ isn’t just about comfort. It’s about independence and performance.
🥼 Supports mobility for people with stiff ankles, post-surgery recovery, or reduced flexibility
❄️ Reduces effort when pulling on ski boots, snowboarding gear, or tight trail footwear
⏳ Saves time getting in and out of gear before and after cold adventures
🏅 Maintains thermal performance without adding bulk or compromising sock fit

From Patent to Performance

BootGlide™ is now officially patented, following successful field testing and design validation. The granted claims include:

“A low-friction knit construction formed of multi-filament and moisture-managing yarns, configured to reduce resistance when entering and exiting a boot.”

Every pair of Laetts socks with BootGlide™ includes this system, knitted into the structure—not added on as a surface finish.

Built for Real Winter Movement

From competitive skiers to aging adventurers, BootGlide™ is built to help you move freely, stay warm, and waste less energy on your gear. It performs best when paired with HygroHeat™ for warmth and Laetts Compression for circulation.

    Worth the price

    I was skeptical at first and I was told I need to invest in good ski socks. Been wearing basic or wool socks this whole time and WOW.... what a life change. I have sweaty feet and they always get cold and it ruins my skiing a little. These socks regulate heat and trap moisture. A must have for any skier!!!

    Very high quality

    I've had these socks for 2 months now and I've started using them outside of skiing. They're EXTREMELY comfortable and perfect for the cold. I live in -10 degrees C weather and with these socks I don't have to wear thermal leggings. I rave about these socks all the time!

    10/10 recommend! Warm, supportive, breathable, YES!

    My custom liners require a thinner sock, and these provided a perfect middle of the line thin feel that was warm and breathable. The compression was noticeable after riding when my dogs weren’t barking as bad as normal, and my calves and shins were supported the entire day of skiing! Good for any level skier for maximum comfort and feel

    Best boot sock on the market!

    I have been using the Laetts Compact Comfort socks for the past three months in my ski boots and fishing waders. They are fantastic for ease in getting in and out of the boots and waders. Most of all, they are much warmer that other socks that I have used. I would highly recommend them for any outdoor activity.
